Data Series?

[timmbbo]

I need a bit of clarification, updating NT7 code to NT8, on the data series. My current NT7 code is:

private DataSeries Med;

protected override void Initialize() {
Med = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate() {
Med.Set((High[0]+Low[0])/2);
}



From help page http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/, I'm not sure how this convert into NT8? Something like

Series Med = new Series(this);

protected override void OnStateChange() {
Med = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate() {
Med.Set((High[0]+Low[0])/2);
}

Would this be correct? Thanks

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

Above the OnStateChange() method you would need to add a variable declaration of:
private Series<double> Med;

In the OnStateChange() method add (as part of the
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{....
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
Med = new Series<double>(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
}

In the OnBarUpdate() method:

Med[0] = (High[0]+Low[0])/2; The .Set() is no longer used.

From the NT8 helpguides Code breaking changes: "The DataSeries.Set() method used to assign Data Series or Plot values has been removed and values can now be stored using a single assignment operator:" Reference: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ng_changes.htm
